More than military memoir

John Merson is a veteran of the 3rd Platoon, K Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Regiment, 1st Marine Division, and served in Vietnam from April 1966 to May 1967. More than military memoir, Merson combines his experiences and writes of the limitations of war with considerations on how to prevent it, and proposes a variety of alternatives to war that are certainly compelling. This book should be on the desk of all world leaders who consider war as the only option to the solution of national differences. All royalties from "War Lessons" are donated to Project Renew, which clears unexploded ordinance in Vietnam. Richard N. Larsen Reviewer
